[外電] D'Antoni: No plans to lift Nate's exile
The Knicks keep winning -- and Nate Robinson keeps sitting.
Coach Mike D'Antoni said yesterday that Robinson would sit again tonight when
the Knicks visit New Orleans. That would make it five straight DNPs for the
banished guard.
Robinson didn't feel like answering questions yesterday, but stopped long
enough to say he was "hanging in there."

D'Antoni has used rookie Toney Douglas in Robinson's place, and that should
continue tonight.
"I'm not gonna switch up anything," D'Antoni said when asked if he had any
thoughts of re-inserting Robinson.
Robinson initially drew the coach's ire when he shot at the wrong basket
against the Nets on Nov. 21, and it increased when Robinson fraternized with
Orlando's Dwight Howard before a game last week.
D'Antoni added lukewarm praise for Robinson's recent practices, saying, "He's
playing hard, doing fine. He's doing what he's supposed to do."
That's not good enough, apparently, to get back on the court.
"I want Nate to play," Howard told reporters yesterday. "We were just having
fun. It shouldn't matter what you do before the game."

Eddy Curry practiced again yesterday and is set to play tonight, for the
first time since Nov. 24. He's been out with a sore left knee.
"It really feels like I'm ready," said Curry, who has missed the last eight.
"I'm definitely looking forward to no more setbacks. I hate to say it
couldn't get much worse, but man, I can't imagine."
D'Antoni said Curry looks "livelier."
"We'll try to find him a spot, but we don't want to disrupt everything, so
we'll play it by ear," the coach said.
Curry's teammates sounded enthusiastic.
"His conditioning is really good," David Lee said. "More than anything, his
attitude is really good. I think he's ready to contribute."
As for how D'Antoni will be able to slide Curry back into the lineup: "That's
why Coach gets paid the big bucks," Lee said. "The good thing about Eddy is
that he's very unselfish. The last thing he wants to do is disrupt anything."

冷笑話不打算把Nate解禁
但還是口口聲聲說他練習時一樣勤奮認真,他就是做他該做的
該做的意思就是坐板凳囉?!
